LOS ANGELES (CN) - In a federal class action, five retired NFL players say the NFL Players Association breached its fiduciary duty by failing to pursue licensing agreements for retirees and failing to pay them a percentage of revenue.

Lead plaintiff Bob Grant says the class action is filed on behalf of retired NFL players who were not members of the class in a similar 2007 complaint, Adderley et al. v. NFLPA.

"In the Adderley action, plaintiffs alleged, and the jury found, that the NFLPA breached a fiduciary duty to the Adderley class by failing to pursue licensing opportunities on behalf of the retired players, concentrating its efforts instead on current players," the complaint states.
